    Awwwwwwww John they are amazing, I would dearly love to see one with my own two eyes, and to actually get a photo of one would really make my day I tell ya.......those little Hummingbirds have always amazed me.

    Thanks for sharing........ Skippy (Australia)

    Good Shots! Of the Humming bird. I like all except one. (something different, instead of my favorite, my least fave is number 4, though I am sure there is a reason you like it. Maybe because the bird is at rest?) Great set of HB shots, though. (how is the lens? hehe)

    Great shots!
    Did you hand hold or use a Mono/Tri-Pod?

    I like them all, but I especially love all the greens in the bird in this one:

    There's just something bothering me on the right side of the image. The image looks smeared there, although it's fine elsewhere.
    enjoy being here while getting there

    Thanks folks for looking and commenting.
    I hope to improve in the near future.The humming birds kept saying...longer lens.:D
    To answer a coupe of question.
    I was in aperture priority so the shutter speed varied and I was hand holding.
